Figure 6-4. Removing a SATA Drive from the Server

SATA Backplane

The SATA drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-

nation. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security.

The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap

capability of the drives. The backplane is already preconﬁ gured, so there are no

jumpers or switches present on it.DVD-ROM and Floppy Drives

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM

and ﬂ oppy drive bays. The 1041M-T2+ accomodates only slim-line DVD-ROM

drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim-line DVD-ROM drive

in the 1041M-T2+ server.

Installing a DVD-ROM or Floppy Drive

You must power down the system before installing or removing a ﬂ oppy or DVD-

ROM drive.

First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it

locks (you will hear a "click").

Release the thumbscrew at the rear of the top chassis cover.

Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis and at the same time, push

the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the

chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.
